265. Chapter 265 Kangjia Town blocks reinforcements and captures Huting stronghold

 Chapter 265 Kangjia Town blocks reinforcements and captures Huting stronghold

Kangjia Town, the position of the 14th Regiment of the 7th Mixed Brigade of the Imperial Association Army.

The 14th Regiment had more than 2,000 men at full strength, but after a series of battles, they currently suffered more than 400 casualties.

After more than 1,500 troops followed the Japs to Kangjia Town, Xiaodao Xinxing arranged for them to station in Kangjia Town to contain the 48th Independent Brigade of the Shanxi-Sui Army in the west.

Chu Yunfei returned to the Lancheng Brigade Headquarters from the Huting stronghold area and established contact with various departments immediately.

In this battle, the Japanese and puppet troops are coming towards them. Currently, the independent detachment is blocking the front line and engaging in a fierce battle with the Japanese and puppet troops.

Chen Ziyun commanded the artillery battalion and other troops to stay at the Huting stronghold to fight, so Chu Yunfei would definitely provide full support.

The 12th Reserve Regiment quickly received the order from the brigade headquarters, and they immediately launched combat operations.

Qian Bojun and Zhang Fugui had no choice but to lead their troops directly to Kangjia Town.

Lin Zhiqiang, Chief of Staff of the Brigade Headquarters, was also here to supervise the operation.

We are now preparing to attack Kangjia Town from three sides with the 8th, 9th and 10th Battalions of the 12th Regiment.

The 30-knot heavy machine gun is a copy of the American Browning heavy machine gun.

Not to mention large-caliber heavy machine guns, even some 7.92MM heavy machine guns using steel-core bullets can penetrate Type 95 tanks.

The Second Regiment of the Imperial Association Army currently has more than 2,000 troops, and their weapons are also very well equipped.

The new regiment, under the command of Li Yunlong, conducted frontal containment.

The 47MM tank gun of the Type 97 tank took the lead in firing.

Three infantry companies and a machine gun company under Chu Yu's 7th Battalion were suppressed.

The 14th Puppet Army Regiment in Kangjia Town quickly withdrew towards Qicun Town.

The 7th Battalion of Chu Yu, attached to the Sun Yu Machine Gun Battalion, quickly moved north, set up blocking positions, and tried their best to block the Japanese and puppet reinforcements.

After these infantry companies of the puppet army advance to a certain distance, they will quickly set up 60MM mortars one after another and directly launch shelling to cover the impact.

Qian Bojun and Zhang Fugui quickly issued orders on the advice of Lin Zhiqiang.

However, they were able to continue fighting after suffering half of their casualties.

Each company has nine light machine guns, six 60MM mortars, and a large number of Czech and Chinese rifles.

Therefore, there are a large number of Japanese advisers in the First Division of the Imperial Army.

The attacking force of the second regiment of the puppet army was hit by close fire and suffered a certain amount of casualties.

They only have a thousand troops left to continue fighting.

They raided Kangjia Town before, and although they achieved results, they were unable to deal with Chen Ziyun, Chu Yunfei, and Li Yunlong.

Not to mention the quality of these heavy machine guns, the 250-round ammunition belt alone can keep them firing continuously.

A large number of puppet soldiers quickly advanced towards the front, using the cover of heavy weapons from behind without any worries.

The brigade headquarters is directly under the Sun Yu Machine Gun Battalion, which provides them with machine gun support.

At this time, the first puppet regiment, the puppet artillery battalion, the first Japanese special operations brigade, and the third Japanese artillery squadron under his command had made great progress.

This is not the first time that the Japanese have used this trick. In large-scale battles such as the Battle of Songhu and the Battle of Hankou in the early morning, puppet troops can be found.

Each row of grenades launches grenades quickly.

The puppet soldiers advanced quickly with rifles in hand, and some of the puppet soldiers carried broadswords behind them.

However, at 10:15, Li Yunlong and Chen Ziyun began to command their subordinate units to conduct joint operations.

The firepower of the seventh battalion was suppressed, and the commander of the second puppet regiment showed a sneer on his face.

Two armor-piercing shells were fired directly at the machine gun company position.

They have tens of thousands of troops. If such troops were to attack the Japanese army, they would definitely be dealt a heavy blow.

"Now as long as we can capture this Jin-Sui army, Taijun will be richly rewarded when we return."

However, Yamamoto's special agent team remained stationary at this time, and they quietly observed the situation on the battlefield.

The 7th Battalion held its position on the spot, with three infantry companies and a machine gun company operating in coordination with each other.

As for the 14th puppet regiment in Kangjia Town, after the 12th reserve regiment continued to attack, their casualties were increasing.

However, the ten mountain cannons quickly bombarded the enemy's artillery troops and suppressed them with heavy weapons.

In order to avoid being attacked from both front and rear, which would lead to the annihilation of the entire army, Captain Shao Zuo began to order the troops to abandon the Huting stronghold.

Even with Yamamoto Kazuki's ability, it is possible to capture Ding Wei Kongjie and attack him.

Captain Shao Zuo, who commanded the operations at the Huting stronghold, initially focused on the New Regiment.

Both of these heavy machine guns are water-cooled heavy machine guns and are fed by 250-round ammunition belts.

The Seventh Battalion's four Type 92 heavy machine guns and two 81MM mortars occupied the commanding heights and continuously launched fire strikes.

Facing the attack by the Japanese and puppet troops, they were under great pressure. Twenty artillery pieces suppressed them and they were unable to fight back.

The little devils inside were shot dead by bullets one after another, and some tanks soon became silent.

Kojima Nobuhiro directly abandoned Kangjia Town, and he wanted to fully command the troops to attack the New Second Regiment and the Independent Regiment.

Chen Ziyun even personally commanded six Bofors mountain guns and four Type 41 mountain guns to provide them with artillery support.

The turrets of the tanks rotated rapidly, and the artillery pieces were aimed at the exposed fire points of the 7th Battalion.

The 2nd Puppet Army Regiment currently fighting the 7th Battalion is affiliated to the 1st Division of the Imperial Army.

This time, the First Independent Tank Squadron, which came with the Second Regiment of the Imperial Association Army, was equipped with ten Type 95 tanks and two Type 97 tanks.

The puppet army battalion commander and company commander had a ferocious expression and a pair of excited eyes.

Nine infantry companies advanced towards different areas. They moved quickly and headed straight for the 7th Battalion's position.

The eight tanks quickly retreated, but the twelve heavy machine guns continued to fire.

It was only at this time that Sun Yu's machine gun battalion, which had been hiding all this time, began to launch intensive firepower.

Twelve 13MM heavy machine guns and twelve Type 91 light machine guns.

At first, the Japanese army mobilized the puppet Manchu troops outside the customs to assist in the war. Later, they incorporated many puppet troops and directly let these puppet troops assist in the war on the spot.

After the Japanese squadron leader discovered that the enemy was concentrating fire and saw some tanks being penetrated by armor, he widened his eyes and decisively gave the order to retreat.

The second regiment of the puppet army began to take the initiative in combat, and they gradually advanced towards the seventh battalion.

The twelve Type 91 light machine guns fired accurately. A shooter used the scope to lock the puppet artillery, and the machine gun shooter pulled the trigger one after another.

Especially the First Division of the Huangdaofeng Imperial Army, which distributed a large number of heavy weapons captured by the Japanese army.

Four Shanxi orogen cannons, six 82MM mortars, and Type 24 and 30-section heavy machine guns were set up at different locations.

The puppet army officers shouted loudly and began to urge the puppet army to advance faster.

But he didn't know that the 12th Reserve Regiment fighting in Kangjia Town was reinforced by the 7th Battalion of the 358th Regiment, as well as the machine gun battalion directly under the brigade headquarters.

Bullets were fired one after another, and one puppet soldier was killed one after another. The firepower of the 7th Battalion was suppressed and stopped instantly.

However, communication between them was smooth, and Kojima Nobuhiro immediately sent a message to inquire.

But this puppet army is different. They are dedicated to serving the little devils.

There is not only a gap in the number of heavy machine guns between the two sides, but also a certain gap in the persistence of firepower.

"Kill me!"

"Bagaya Road, Shanxi-Sui Army Cavalry Troops, why are they here?"

The machine gun company has assembled four heavy machine guns, four 81MM mortars, and four 37MM flat-fire cannons for cover.

It is obviously not easy for these Japanese and puppet troops to get close to Kangjia Town.

Fortunately, the commander of the machine gun company saw the turret of the Little Devil tank turning and hurriedly issued a transfer order.

The 14th Puppet Army Regiment belongs to the 7th Mixed Brigade of the Royal Association Army. Their weapons and equipment are far inferior to those of the 1st Army Division of the Royal Association Army.

Behind these puppet troops, there are Japanese tanks, and various heavy weapons of the puppet troops constantly provide them with cover.

More than a thousand people from the 14th Regiment of the Imperial Association Army faced such firepower and were under tremendous pressure.

The military headquarters was somewhat dissatisfied.

It has to be said that this puppet army is indeed a force carefully selected by the First Army Headquarters.

It is no exaggeration to say that Ding Weixin's Second Regiment and Kongjie Independent Regiment are facing a fatal threat at this time.

The regiment has mountain artillery, the battalion has 82MM mortars, the company has 60MM mortars, and light machine guns are assigned to each squad.

At this time, the main force of the Japanese and puppet troops was gathered here in the two defensive trenches, and the defense of the rear quarters was very empty.

The 8th, 9th, and 10th battalions were attached to the mountain artillery companies and continued their fierce attack on Kangjia Town.

Kojima Nobuhiro did not expect that the reinforcements he sent had not arrived at Kangjia Town yet.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the 7th Battalion quickly launched a counterattack with firepower.

After the explosion, the shrapnel quickly spread in all directions.

Seeing that his troops suffered heavy casualties, the commander of the puppet army had no choice but to quickly report to Kojima Nobuxing for help.

"Immediately move to the flank, assemble all troops, quickly move to the flank, and abandon the existing position."

For more than a thousand days, the puppet troops abandoned their positions and quickly moved toward the flanks.

Especially for heavy weapons units such as artillery battalions, the command was completely in the hands of Japanese military advisers.

Rounds of 13MM caliber bullets were fired at the Japanese tanks one after another, and the large-caliber bullets began to penetrate the armor of the tanks.

Some Japanese military advisers had drawn their sabers, waving them and shouting loudly.

But even so, the little devils were still wary of them.

Their main weapons and equipment are not weak, and they can also be supported by four mountain cannons.

If other puppet troops had faced such a blow, they would have been completely defeated long ago.

The commander of the puppet army kept sending messages to Kojima Nobuhiro to report in detail the situation here.

Their predecessor was the Sixth Mixed Brigade of the Imperial Association Army. This force was formed by the First Army drawing puppet troops from Jin, Hebei, Shandong and other regions.

On the surface they assist in training and command, but in fact they are fully responsible for the command of the puppet troops.

Three cavalry companies advanced rapidly. Five minutes later, they broke through the flank and quickly advanced towards the dormitory of the Huting stronghold.

If it were the puppet troops of the Jin Provincial Security Corps, they would have been attacked by the Shanxi-Sui Army and would have withdrawn from the battlefield long ago, or even surrendered directly.

In particular, the puppet troops are equipped with a large number of heavy machine guns, and each heavy machine gun is constantly spraying tongues of flame.

In their view, as long as their troops attack, they will definitely be able to seize the position and completely annihilate this Shanxi-Sui Army unit.

The New Second Regiment and the Independent Regiment were under greater pressure, and their overall losses were increasing.

They have five battalions, especially the machine gun battalion, which has twelve Type 92 13MM heavy machine guns and twelve Type 91 light machine guns.

He began to organize his troops to launch a counterattack, and three infantry battalions quickly attacked.

"When the time comes, you will have whatever you want. Hurry over and kill this Jinsui army."

Eight Jin-made Type 16 105MM mountain cannons, eight Jin-made Type 17 75MM mountain cannons, and four Type 99 105MM mountain cannons fire continuously.

An assault squadron, a machine gun squadron, a mortar squadron, and a rapid-fire artillery squadron were the elite of more than 300 Japanese troops, paying close attention to the dynamics of the battlefield.

Without the support of these mortars, the puppet army in Kangjia Town was very passive in combat.

Moreover, these troops all have strong field combat capabilities and are supported by twelve Japanese tanks. Kojima Nobuhiro felt that it should be no problem to stabilize the Kangjia Town position.

Each squadron fired continuously with light machine guns and submachine guns.

The special agent team commanded by Yamamoto Kazuki has also arrived on the battlefield.

Otherwise, if these two armor-piercing bullets hit, the heavy machine gun will definitely be destroyed.

These puppet troops all have the same characteristics, that is, they have combat experience and are hardcore traitors.

Originally, the Japanese army was suspicious of these puppet troops, and they did not dare to give heavy weapons to the puppet troops, fearing that the puppet troops would turn against them.

Each battalion of the 12th Reserve Regiment has three infantry companies and one machine gun company.

Intense bullets were fired at the puppet troops one after another, and many puppet troops were knocked to the ground in an instant.

However, the First Army of Jin Province suffered successive attacks and suffered heavy casualties. They mobilized fewer and fewer troops.

After continuous fighting, the only few 82MM mortars they supported began to be knocked out.

The Second Puppet Army Regiment and the First Independent Tank Squadron, which returned to Kangjia Town, broke away from contact with the blocking forces and quickly returned to meet with the main force of the Japanese and puppet troops.

Once the cavalry battalion captures the dormitories, it means that the Japanese and puppet troops' retreat will be cut off.

Many puppet army officers began to make evacuation suggestions to the commander of the puppet army. They believed that if they continued to hold on to Kangjia Town, the entire army would probably be annihilated.

After Kojima Nobuki received the report and after careful consideration, he transferred back the 2nd Regiment of the 1st Division of the Imperial Japanese Army and the 1st Independent Tank Squadron.

But soon, the little Japanese armored soldiers of the First Independent Tank Squadron responded quickly.

"Boom boom boom."

Immediately afterwards, under the command of some Japanese advisers, these heavy weapons began to fire violently.

"Advance quickly, and prepare the light machine gun for cover."

The dense bullets were fired like a torrential rain, and the dust was flying on the position. The soldiers were suppressed and could not raise their heads at all.

When the Major Captain saw this scene, he frowned tightly.

They were determining the specific location of Chen Ziyun and others, and then quickly attacked and killed them directly.

These puppet troops are all hardcore traitors and have a certain fighting capacity.

Of course, there were not only the Japanese and puppet troops commanded by Kojima Nobuki on the battlefield at this time.

Artillery shells were fired one after another, and deafening explosions occurred one after another.

Four Japanese infantry squadrons attacked from the flanks under the cover of the machine gun squadron and artillery squadron.

After being attacked several times, they decided to support the puppet troops so that they could cooperate with the Japanese army in attacking operations.

These twelve tanks marched along the road, surrounded by a large number of puppet troops following them.

"Brothers, Master led us to win the battle before, and everyone got promoted and became rich."

The four Type 92 heavy machine guns equipped by the 7th Battalion are captured Japanese weapons, and they use thirty rounds of bullets for ammunition.

The second regiment of the puppet army was caught off guard, and they suffered a certain amount of casualties.

The heavy machine guns and mortars of the machine gun company directly launched fierce fire suppression.

These Japanese military advisers are Japanese military officers who retired due to injuries and made mistakes and were put into reserve service.

After all, their three divisions are all deployed in southern Shanxi to deal with the defenders of Zhongtiao Mountain.

After all, the observation group came here this time to watch the special agents kill officers like Chen Ziyun, not to watch the special agents attack ordinary soldiers.

It was at this time that the Japanese and puppet troops rushing to aid Kangjia Town had begun fighting with the 7th Battalion and the Machine Gun Battalion.

Ten Type 95 tanks were not to be outdone, and each 37MM tank gun also fired armor-piercing projectiles to suppress the firepower of the 7th Battalion.

The mountain artillery company directly under the regiment, with four Shanxi orogenic guns deployed on the high ground, launched bombardments one after another.

If Yamamoto's special agent team quickly joins the battle at this time, they will definitely be able to disintegrate these two groups in an instant.

The puppet army has good weapons and equipment, and is commanded by Japanese advisers. Their overall strength is not weak.

However, after the cavalry battalion attacked, he immediately organized firepower to intercept.

Now after many aspects of intelligence analysis, the little devil has determined that Chen Ziyun and others may be at the Huting stronghold.

The dense bullets hit directly at the firepower of the Japanese and puppet troops covering the rear!

The machine gun battery has four Type 24 heavy machine guns and two Type 92 infantry guns.

When he learned that the troops returning to Kangjia Town were blocked on the way, Nobuhiro Kojima hesitated and made an immediate decision.

The three infantry battalions began to vaguely encircle Chu Yu's seventh battalion.

Battalion Commander Chu Yu did not panic at all, but calmly commanded the troops and asked each company to prepare for shooting.

The Yamamoto Special Agent Team is not taking action against the New Second Regiment and the Independent Regiment now because their target is Chen Ziyun and others.

Currently, the 14th Puppet Army Regiment in Kangjia Town is facing attacks from these three battalions, and its casualties are increasing, and some positions are gradually being lost.

The main tank currently equipped by the Little Devil Armored Force is the Type 95 light tank, and the maximum armor thickness of this tank is only 12MM.

At half past nine, the fierce fighting in Kangjia Town continued, but at this time the 14th Puppet Army Regiment suffered a large number of casualties.

The first regiment of the puppet army invested two infantry battalions, equipped with a mountain artillery battery of more than 1,000 people for a frontal attack.

As the grenades escaped from the mortars one after another, they fell into the ranks of the puppet troops.

Especially under the powerful firepower of the 12th Reserve Regiment, the morale of the puppet troops gradually became low.

The Zhangwu Cavalry Battalion began to quickly break through from the flanks. Three cavalry companies advanced rapidly, and the machine gun company provided cover for them from the rear.

The second regiment of the puppet army took the opportunity to quickly disperse, and various weapons were immediately set up.

The Type 24 heavy machine gun is a copy of the German Maxim heavy machine gun.

At around 9:15, as the reconnaissance force began to report, the reserve I2 regiment quickly made adjustments and deployments.

Among them, twelve large-caliber mountain guns still brought great pressure to the New Second Regiment and the Independent Regiment.

At 10:40, the new regiment and other troops captured the Huting stronghold!

The Japanese army and other troops all call tanks combat vehicles.

To ensure smooth reading for everyone, let’s write about tanks in the future.
